Checking & Adjustment: Checking: Notes
- Apply load to attain curb height shown in pinion angle table. Height is measured from top of axle housing tube to bumper bracket on bottom of side rail (outer edge of side rail on Ford, Mercury, Continental and Mark VI). Position "V" magnet of Tool T68P-4602-A on drive shaft away from welds and balance weights.
- From left side of vehicle, position tool on "V" magnet with adjusting screw to left. Adjust dial on tool until left side of bubble is on zero line. Position tool on "U" joint bearing cap with tool in same relative position as it was on "V" magnet. Ford, Mercury, Continental and Mark VI models require placing tool on bearing cap of circular flange.NOTE: Snap ring must be removed and reinstalled after reading is completed on circular flange cap bearings.
- Read position of bubble's left hand edge on scale to determine driveshaft pinion angle. Compare to angle specifications shown in table. If pinion angle is not within specifications, adjust to tolerances given in table.
